    Bitcoin Is The New S&P 500 | The Income Show | Ep. 18

    The Income Show is back with host Joe Burnett, joined by Brian Harrington to discuss how he identified a likely Bitcoin bottom and navigated the latest bear market. Brian explains why he rebuilt his portfolio around income, why passive index investing no longer interests him, and how he maps products across a simplified Bitcoin yield curve. They also explore digital credit, Strategy preferreds, covered-call funds, Bitcoin-backed lending, stablecoins, and the role of predictable cash flow in reducing Bitcoin’s volatility barrier. Finally, they consider Bitcoin’s future returns, the path from income products to direct Bitcoin ownership, and why both longtime holders and newer participants may need to rethink old assumptions.

    Lyn Alden: The Dollar Endgame Is Here | The Income Show | Ep. 17

    The Income Show is back with host Joe Burnett, joined by Lyn Alden, to discuss U.S. Treasury buybacks, long-term yields, and the path toward financial repression. They distinguish the Treasury’s recent actions from full yield curve control, examine fiscal dominance and the relationship between the Treasury and Federal Reserve, and consider what these policies mean for hard assets. They also explore Bitcoin’s role as money and a protocol of value, its recent performance relative to gold, and the structure, valuation, and leverage risks of digital credit. Lyn compares Bitcoin mining with AI compute and explains why greater technological abundance would not eliminate scarcity or the need for money.

    The Future of Income Investing | The Income Show | Ep. 14

    The Income Show is back with host Joe Burnett, joined by Loren Asmus, Head of Investor Relations at UTXO, to unpack how institutional capital is finally starting to bridge into Bitcoin, and why fixed income is at the center of it. Loren brings a traditional finance lens sharpened by years on the institutional side, and walks through the journey that took him from allocating inside legacy portfolios to helping build the infrastructure that lets institutions actually access Bitcoin exposure at scale. Joe and Loren break down why the 60/40 portfolio is fundamentally broken in a fiscally dominant world, how institutional allocators really think about fixed income, and the structural reasons most institutions still can't just buy Bitcoin outright, no matter how much conviction the CIO has. From there, the conversation moves into the future of income investing and the emergence of digital credit as its own asset class, covering the difference between senior and junior digital credit, how large the market could realistically become, and how it should actually be valued. They also get into the STRC drawdown and what it revealed about digital credit volatility, why the "just hold Bitcoin and cash" argument misses the point for large pools of capital, the role of the government backstop through the next recession, and why Bitcoin's infinite duration makes it the ultimate long-duration asset on a corporate balance sheet. It's a conversation about where trillions of dollars of fixed income allocation may ultimately end up, and the plumbing being built right now to move it there.

They break down Sam's unpopular Bitcoin opinions, the line between conviction and stubbornness, and why time horizon and volatility shake most investors out too early. They also examine fiscal dominance, Bitcoin's role as a global liquidity trade, treasury companies and digital credit, and Fidelity's math showing Bitcoin needs to hit $370K by 2032, evaluating the shape of Bitcoin's returns into 2030 and why adoption still isn't at 100%.
